About this Event
Why Tell Tales?
Folk and fairy tales profoundly impact both the listener and storyteller. Exploring these timeless, authorless stories offers up deep insight and surprising connections that can ground and guide us. The best way to internalize the truth within the tales is to embody the narrative through telling the stories. And in turn, by telling them we leave an imprint on the stories making them even more relevant to ourselves and to our audience.
The core of our intensive work will be to explore the symbiotic relationship between storytelling, personal transformation, and connecting with the communities we inhabit.
This intensive is for anyone who wants to deepen their relationship with tales and telling. We’ll offer the 12 hours of structured time plus each participant will have an opportunity to book an individual session of dedicated personal time between the participant and a facilitator. The intensive will not culminate in a performance but if participants wish to share a story during our open storytelling session Friday evening the 26th at 7pm.
We’ll cover:
- Discovering Tales
- Approaches to Reading Tales
- Writing by Forgetting
- Telling Tales
- Moving Presence
- Moving Through Place
- Ancient song
- Movement Choir
